Game Changers: Playing to win the future

At the core of a market economy we find change. In today’s turbulent business world, competitive advantages have a lot more in common with ice cubes than diamonds. Do nothing or the wrong thing, and in an instant your left with wet sand. True champions are serial game changers. Dr. Ridderstråle outlines how the most innovative companies are re-inventing strategy, management and leadership.

Winning the organizational game: Like it or not, there is a growing gap between what ‘you’ know and what ‘we’ know. Knowledge on the societal level is expanding at a rate that no single person can keep up with. We’re all Homer Simpson now. Dr. Ridderstråle will explain how we must apply a new paradigm for organizing our firms in order to survive and thrive. Learn the basic principles behind what it takes to run a more self-organizing and networked enterprise.

Winning strategic game: The era of prediction is coming to an end. The contemporary global village is connected – technologically, economically, politically and physically – to an extent that makes anything depend on everything else. Dr. Ridderstråle will talk about how to manage and strategize when forecasting is futile and planning makes little sense. Learn how build a real-time enterprise and create a culture of creation.

Winning the leadership game: People can be extraordinarily courageous and take tough decisions only when they have something to believe in. The most successful organizations on our planet are all systems of faith. Securing the capacity and capability to produce change therefore requires a “corporate religion”. A shared dream guarantees a clear direction and coordinated action. Learn how to compete on confidence by capitalizing on courage.

Dr. Jonas Ridderstråle is one of the world’s most influential and respected business thinkers and speakers. Since bursting onto the international scene with the bestseller Funky Business in 2000, Jonas has remained at the forefront of the new generation of management gurus.

In keynotes and workshops, Jonas conveys his message with passion and energy, adding not only improved skill but also inspiring the will and thrill necessary for change. His forceful blend of academic rigor, imagination, humor and highly dynamic presentation style has inspired audiences from Moscow to Mumbai and San Francisco to Shanghai. Jonas’ diverse client list includes Fortune 500 companies, major government bodies, sports teams as well as trade unions.

Jonas has an MBA and a PhD in international business and was recognized as Sweden’s outstanding young academic of the year. In 2007, he was awarded the prestigious Italian Nobels Colloquia award for “Leadership in Business and Economic Thinking”. Jonas is currently a visiting professor at two internationally acclaimed business schools: Ashridge in the UK and IE Business School in Spain. His research has been published in leading academic journals.

In business, those who can’t often teach. Dr. Ridderstråle also practices what he so persuasively preaches. He is co-owner and chairman of the Swedish Management Group – Mgruppen - one of Scandinavia’s leading and most successful providers of management training and development. In addition, he acts as a trusted advisor and consultant to a number of multinational corporations.

Jonas’ original claim to fame Funky Business: Talent makes capital dance quickly became an international success, selling more than 300,000 copies. The book was recently ranked at number 16 in a Bloomsbury survey of the best business books of all time. The sequels, Karaoke Capitalism: Management for mankind and Funky Business Forever: How to enjoy capitalism, also became globally celebrated manifestos for how to make it in the new world of commerce. (All three books were co-authored with Kjell A. Nordström.)

In 2008, Wiley published Jonas’ latest bestseller Re-energizing the Corporation: How leaders make change happen (co-written with Mark Wilcox) which explains how to combine the why and how of leading change. Jonas’ books have been translated into more than 30 languages and published in more than 50 countries worldwide.

Dr. Ridderstråle’s ideas and work have attracted huge media coverage throughout the world. He has appeared on CNN’s “Global Office” in an extended interview exploring the ideas behind his books.

Towards a European Interoperability Architecture

The interoperability programme of the European Commission, Interoperability Solutions for European Public Administrations (ISA - http://ec.europa.eu/isa/) is in the process of developing a reference architecture for promoting interoperability. This reference model, called the "European Interoperability Reference Architecture" (hereinafter referred to as "EIRA"), is composed of four views: business, data, applications and technology. Enterprise Architects, Policy Makers, Portfolio Managers and National CIOs will use the EIRA to organise, classify and afterwards assess the building blocks used in the delivery of digital public services. Not all public administrations will require all the building blocks of the EIRA. However, all of them are likely to need a subset of the EIRA, depending on their specific requirements. At this point the European Commission is working with key stakeholders (Public Administrations, Standardisation Bodies, Commission services, other EU bodies and Academia) towards the validation of the EIRA. Once validated, the EIRA will reflect a common understanding of the building blocks necessary to support interoperable (public) services across borders and sectors. The EIRA will also be used to help public administrations search for ready to use solutions in the Commission's collaborative platform (Joinup - https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/). The EIRA is built upon TOGAF and the model is expressed in Archimate.

Key takeaways:

-- The importance of reference architectures (and to use them in practice);

-- How a reference architecture can be used for organising, assessing and discovering building blocks;

-- How the European Commission is putting Enterprise Architecture in practice to promote interoperability.

Next Generation IT Architecture: How Today's Disruptive IT Developments Change the Architecture Discipline and Profession

The products that emerge from the contemporary information society challenge enterprises in the processes that constitute the business and the IT operations. These challenges are substantial because they can deeply affect enterprises in their business models and the IT departments in enabling these models. We see this articulated in themes and initiatives such as Open Platform 3.0 (Open Group), The 3rd Platform (IDC) and the Nexus of Forces (Gartner). We can rightly speak of disruptive IT developments that emerged into what HP denotes a New Style of IT.

No doubt that architecture artifacts will be affected by these development and challenge organizations to take appropriate (architectural) measures to resolve this using as-a-service concepts, cloud concepts, and so forth. The question rises however to what extent and how these developments will affect the architecture discipline and profession in the enterprise.

This talk explores the requirements that the disruptive IT developments impose on the IT Architecture discipline and the architecture profession in general.

Key takeaways:

-- Understanding the new fundamentals and how they drive the disruption of the architecture discipline and profession.

Workshop: Open Trusted Technology™

This workshop will provide an overview on the challenge of securing global supply chains and will demonstrate how the Open Trusted Technology Provider™ Standard (O-TTPS) and the O-TTPS Accreditation Program for component suppliers, technology providers and integrators address the challenge - in particular how they help to mitigating the risk of maliciously tainted and counterfeit products. It will also include step by step guidelines and discussion on how to prepare for and apply to the O-TTPS Accreditation Program. And finally it will cover the third party assessor component of the program, detailing what it takes to be a recognized O-TTPS Assessor, that is those assessors who are recognized by The Open Group as qualified to provide the assessments of conformance within the O-TTPS Accreditation Program.

The Largest EA Project in the World?

The Largest EA Project in the World?

Mats Gejnevall, Enterprise Architect, Combitech, Sweden

The goal of the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) program is to completely overhaul the European airspace and its Air Traffic Management (ATM). Contrary to the United States, Europe does not have a single sky, one in which air navigation is managed at the European level. Furthermore, European airspace is among the busiest in the world with over 33,000 flights on busy days and high airport density. This makes air traffic control even more complex.

The EU Single European Sky is an ambitious initiative launched by the European Commission in 2004 to reform the architecture of European air traffic management. It proposes a legislative approach to meet future capacity and safety needs at a European rather than a local level.

With a budget of more than 2 billion euros and around 300 projects it can be seen as the largest enterprise architecture project in the world right now creating an enterprise architecture and a roadmap for implementing the new ways of doing ATM cross Europe.

The presentation will explain how such a large EA project is organized, performed and measured. It will also show how it relates to TOGAF and ways of using TOGAF in an agile way.

Key takeaways:

-- Industry architecture has different challenges from company architecture
-- Agile way of doing EA in large scale

Mats Gejnevall from Combitech has been working with enterprise architecture for the last 15 years helping organisations setting up EA capabilities, leading and performing enterprise architecture projects in various sectors as telecommunication, government and industries.

Core Competences of Architects

Core Competences of Architects

Danny Greefhorst, Director, ArchiXL, The Netherlands

There are various types of professionals involved in the transformation of enterprises, such as enterprise architects, business information managers and governance specialists. It should be clear how these disciplines co-operate and what their core competences are. Numerous competence frameworks exist, but they do not seem to provide insight into the essence of these disciplines. Within the Dutch Computer Association we have defined such essential competence profiles for these disciplines, based on dublin descriptors as used within the higher education sector. This provides the guidance needed for employers as well as for professionals themselves on the core competences needed. These profiles will be discussed and refined in the near future.

Danny Greefhorst, MSc. is a Principal Consultant and Director of ArchiXL in Amersfoort, The Netherlands, and acts as an architect and consultant for clients in the financial and public sector. Danny is responsible for the EA portal Via Nova Architectura. He is also a member of the governing board of the architecture section of Dutch Computer Association (Ngi). He is author of the book "Architecture Principles - The Cornerstones of Enterprise Architecture", published by Springer.

Enterprise Transformation: Doing - Not Talking About It

Enterprise Transformation: Doing - Not Talking About It

Dave Hornford, Managing Partner, Conexiam, Canada

Strategic transformation is as rare as hens teeth ­ it requires an organization actually select a new strategy, figure out how to achieve it and embark on the transformation. Lets explore the role enterprise architecture plays transforming a multi-national construction company; and the role of a chief architect to facilitate the change.

Strategic transformation can be ambitious: Grow average project size ten-fold, increase profit 50% and not disrupt multiple proud heritages that date-back over a century.

Architecture of the enterprise requires understanding how the enterprise works; what the meaningful components of the system are, how they interact and how they must change.

Key takeaways:

1. Enterprise architecture has far more to do with operations than IT systems
2. Why enforcing traceability from strategy to enabler to project to action is the mission of a chief architect
3. How major systems projects can be brought to heel & deliver on the strategy

Dave Hornford is a practicing enterprise architect ­ either delivering target architecture or assisting his clients develop their EA Capability. Dave is a partner in Conexiam. Conexiam develops EA roadmaps, leads strategy-driven transformation projects and enhances clients' in-house EA capability. Dave is active in the Open Group, currently Chair of the Architecture Forum. He has come to terms with being a modern nomad.

Architecting the Evolution of Dutch Long-Term Care

Architecting the Evolution of Dutch Long-Term Care

The national health care system in the Netherlands is in a state of change. The long-term care is being reorganized, to keep costs in check, lower the administrative burden and increase transparency. Most importantly, the responsibility for a large part of this type of care will be shifted from the central government to municipalities, while at the same time the budget is being cut. This shift of responsibility also has a great impact on the administrative processes and information systems involved.

Next to this decentralization of large parts of the care system, the architecture of these processes and systems needs to be improved. Currently, parties involved (a.o. care providers, insurers, administrative agencies, municipalities) pass around information about their clients in a "relay" manner. This entails a high administrative load, leads to unnecessary delays and poses risks on data quality.

The new domain architecture for long-term care (AIDA) changes this "push" model into a "pull" model, based on a set of core registers and junctions to store and exchange important kinds of data. The presentation will describe how we go about this architectural change, in a complex field with many parties from both the public and private sector.

Dependability through Assuredness™ Workshop

This workshop will address how to use the Dependability through Assuredness™ Standard (O-DA) to provide Assuredness in Architectures, and how to use it with TOGAF®

The O-DA standard defines a framework and guidance for developing an Assured and/or Dependable Architecture. The framework provides Architects with a conceptual model.

The information in this standard can be used stand-alone or with an encompassing Architecture Development Method (ADM), such as the TOGAF® ADM. Integration with the TOGAF standard and extension steps will be discussed.

TOGAF® Architecture Development Method (ADM) Overview

The inner loop of the double loop model is primarily about implementation governance (Phase G) and the connection to Architecture Change Management (Phase H).

O-DA enhances TOGAF in this phase by:

providing precise tools for "proving" critical properties are achieved in the implementation - a practical form of architecture review

The outer loop of the double loop is primarily about creating the architecture: TOGAF Phases A-F. In this situation, TOGAF enhances O-DA providing detailed guidance on how to create the architecture and requirements.

This workshop will provide examples, such as, a medical device or configurable heart monitor, and address critical concerns.

How will safety and patient privacy will be assured for a medical device?

In the workshop the first 45 minutes is spent on the inner loop with the goal of highlighting assurance challenges and drawing out those that are open systems related. The second 45 minutes will focus on the outer loop - in particular balancing stakeholder concerns.

This workshop will be of interest to every Architect wishing to develop an Assured and/or Dependable Architecture.

Planning is Everything - How to Change and How Change is Managed

Ingvar Elmen, Senior Business Consultant, Biner Consulting, Sweden

How well do the following statements describe your situation?
· I am confident that my company or organization has adequate short and long term flexibility to adapt to changing external requirements
· Change efforts in my company generally deliver the full anticipated benefits with only minimal delays or budget over-runs.
· Managers at my company agree that IT is a major positive influence on our ability to improve customer service, products and business methods.

Did you agree with all three statements? Congratulations! Stop reading now and go and do something more valuable. You have either managed to solve the problems addressed in this presentation, or your business is uncomplicated and straightforward enough to make the rest of us envious.

A third possibility is that you are in complete denial, which – in a way – could also be considered enviable. However it is likely that you disagree with at least two of the statements above. If so, there is probably room for improvement in the way that your organization plans and coordinates its change efforts. A good way to achieve such improvement is to steal a few bars from a method called TOGAF ADM, (The Open Group Architecture Framework - Architecture Developments Method). The ADM has its origins in systems analysis and systems design, but is not focused on information technology as such. It is all about making a company function properly – about making change work.

Enabling the Opportunity to Achieve Boundaryless Information Flow™

Enabling the Opportunity to Achieve Boundaryless Information Flow™

Enabling Boundaryless Information Flow™ for any ecosystem can not happen overnight. Rather, there is cultural cultivation time and process required to obtain this vision. Cultivation typically reflect a series of activities, including the formulation of a strategic IT integration strategy, that must be successfully completed to prepare the culture. It enables team members representing the stakeholder’s interest to “innovate” their thinking towards common vocabulary, metadata definitions, functions, processes and then eventually towards common information flows. It is that common information flow that is agreed to by the stakeholders that eventually becomes the industry standard. The process to get to the industry standard is a best practice that is enabled through collaboration with The Open Group.

The vision of the Healthcare Forum is to enable Boundaryless Information Flow across the complete healthcare ecosystem. This presentation offers our thoughts on how we are cultivating the culture, thereby enabling the opportunity to achieve Boundaryless Information Flow throughout the Healthcare Ecosystem.

Takeaways:
Using the Healthcare Forum as an example of industry, upon completion of this session the participant will:

Understand why cultivating the culture is necessary to building successful standards

Understand why definition of the ecosystem is important to Boundaryless Infomration Flow

Gain appreciation for the importance of recognizing current in place standards that exist within the scope of the ecosystem

Become aware of the specific activities the Healthcare Forum is beginning to head the forum towards our vision of Boundaryless Information Flow

Obtain awareness on how the Healthcare forum plans to leverage the assets of the Open Group to help achieve Boundaryless Information Flow

A Reference Architecture For the Business of IT

A Reference Architecture for the Business of IT

Charles Betz, Chief Architect, Signature Client Group, AT&T;

Karel van Zeeland, Lead IT4IT Architect, Shell IT International

There are many IT standards and frameworks. But a major gap remains: there has been no development of a complete IT reference architecture under open governance. Consultancies and analyst firms have proprietary material, and some authors have explored the concept. But unlike other industry verticals and functions, there has been no broadly accepted end to end architectural representation of the full span of activities across the IT value chain. Retail has the ARTS model; telecommunications has eTOM; banking now has BIAN; and similar efforts can be found in other industry sectors. But the guidance for IT has been fragmented, or domain-specific, or primarily narrative – not expressed with the full architectural rigor of a multi-view reference model.

This will be the first formal Open Group presentation of the work of the IT4IT Consortium, which has been working over the past two years on just such a model. HP, Shell, Munich Re, Achmea, Price Waterhouse-Coopers, ING, Accenture and AT&T have come together to develop a framework specifically targeted to architects who find themselves supporting IT management, IT service management, Agile development, DevOps, and similar concerns. Based on a value stream model, capability architecture, ontology, and systems architecture, the framework provides a comprehensive architectural view of IT management. As a planned Forum of the Open Group, IT4IT will provide authoritative standard guidance for all those seeking to improve their IT capabilities in a world of accelerating technological change.

Charles Betz is a Chief Architect with the Signature Client Group of AT&T. He is an enterprise architect, author, researcher, and analyst in the field of IT management and data and information management, with experience at Wells Fargo, Accenture, Target, and Best Buy.

A connected healthcare world for everyone

UN statistics show that the proportion of the population aged 65 and over has been rising since the 1990s, and is anticipated to rise even more steeply in the near-term future. Additionally the cost of providing high-quality care continues to rise, and it’s clear that healthcare organizations are being squeezed in a number of ways. Healthcare systems today are changing the way they operate, how decisions are made and how patients receive care. This requires a significant overhaul of complex organizations, as well as the secure delivery of associated actionable data about each patient population they serve.

Information Technology opens up new avenues for solutions that allow care providers to create a more holistic view of their patients, optimize their workflows, improve clinical decision making and to better collaborate among stakeholders in the care processes. Patients and people in general will have better tools to manage their health, get support from friends and family, and engage with people with similar conditions and be motivated to improve the control of their conditions, enabled by Cloud, social networking and mobile technologies.

A Business Simulation that Helps You Architect & Organize Collaboration between the Business and IT

In this simulation, participants play employees of the company BookStore™. This company sells books and has 150 shops. Management has an ambitious growth plan. In the course of the game, BookStore™, introduces new products and services. BookStore™ intends to improve customers engagement, for instance by using smartphones. Participants in this simulation manage sources of information and applications from business and IT perspectives. They learn to recognize what the information needs of the business are, and how to collaborate effectively. They discover critical fail factors and success factors that could apply to their own organizations, and also experience how a business simulation can be used to create a dialogue between business and IT people, as well being used as an assessment instrument to identify weaknesses and improvements. Typical participants' comments:

• "We experienced a level of collaboration that we rarely see in the real world!"
• "Clarity of roles and responsibility is vital."
• "You need people keeping their eye on the horizon, what will be out there in future."
• "The interaction between Information Management and IT was crucial. IM asked the right questions and helped IT put the plan together quickly."
• "Information Management has crucial information to solve the whole puzzle: IT cannot do it without Information Management."
• "We got out of our silo and talked about what it meant for the business."

Key takeaways:

• Insight into both Fail Factors and Success Factors in organizing effective collaboration between the business and IT.
• Insight into how business simulations can be used to create a dialogue between business people and IT people, as well being used as an assessment instrument to identify weaknesses and improvements.

Business models for the Internet of Everything

Sjoerd Hulzinga, Charter Lead, KPN Consulting, The Netherlands

The Internet of Everything is the networked connection of people, data, process and things. The IoE is made up of many technology transitions, including the Internet of Things. Information flows from one entity to others for specific purposes. This will give rise to countless new possibilities and innovations. It seems very easy to come up with use-cases which suggest cost savings or the creation of opportunities.

This has a lot of the characteristics of hypes we have seen earlier. The difference between another hype and a development of substance is the creation of succesful business models.

In this presentation Sjoerd Hulzinga will discuss the way the Internet of Everything charter of KPN Consulting addresses the need for Business Models as a justification for the interest in this subject.

Key takeaways:

-- IoE use-cases
-- IoE Business Models
-- Is IoE a Hype or the future of our Business Model?

Sjoerd Hulzinga has over 25 years of experience in ICT. In various roles he has experienced many substantial changes in this field. He is seldom impressed by hype but always fascinated by substance. With a keen eye for business sense he seeks to find value in any significant innovation.

Information Risk in a New Technology Landscape (How do C-Level Executives Think About Risk?)

Information Risk in a New Technology Landscape (How do C-Level Executives Think About Risk?)

Ed Reynolds, HP Fellow, HP Enterprise Security Services, US

How do C-level executives think about risk? How should they think about 'information risk' ? Consider:

* 53 % of CEO's haven't been trained in how to respond to a breach
* Less than 23% would know enough to take the lead in the event of a breach, despite nearly half of organizations experiencing information loss in the last 2 years
* Over 70% of executives believe their organization at best only partially understands the information risk they are exposed to
* 52% of employees have used an insecure mobile or cloud-based device at least one time in the past year

These alarming, but not surprising stats have been highlighted in the recently HP commissioned research into how organizations are addressing information risk and what, if any strategic planning is in place. HP and the Economist Intelligence Unit surveyed 300+ senior business leaders, 41% of whom are C-level executives or board members from across the world, representing a total of 18 industries. We will expand on these findings and explore ways that we can assess and minimize impacts in today's highly connected technology environments.

Key takeaways:

-- Understand the concerns, priorities and perceptions in the boardroom.

-- Learn how to communicate and manage risk effectively among executive levels, risk management and IT leadership.

-- Understand why technology alone, although important is not the answer to reducing information risk.

Open Collaboration For The Smart Grid

Open Collaboration For The Smart Grid

The realization of a Smart Grid is a strategic goal for everyone involved in the energy value network - from the perspective of both economic and environmental sustainability. This requires cooperation between parties with widely differing concerns, some commercial, some not, some from sectors outside the energy market. The consumer too has become an active participant and the role of government is no longer simply setting policy. Achieving this goal requires more than just participation in standards bodies. There is a culture change necessary ­ from proprietary to open - and this is starting to happen. Open data, open APIs and co-creation of new initiatives are essential. A willingness to share assets, risk and opportunity and to collaborate with new participants will deliver successful innovation, as it has in open-source communities.

In this presentation we will look at initiatives that are already delivering results including new standards. We will highlight some current new developments and present a vision for the transition to open collaboration ­ within and across sectors.

Key takeaways:

-- An understanding of the energy ecosystem as an example of the need for collaboration across enterprises and citizen involvement.

-- A view on how open collaboration can be achieved and what the key techniques and technologies involved will be.

Visualizing the Business Impact of Technical Cyber Risks

Although enterprise risk management and IT security have become mature disciplines, and professional tools exist to detect a wide variety of vulnerabilities in IT systems and infrastructure, their use in the support of management decisions related to security investments is still very limited. This is due to the fact that the findings of these tools are presented in a very technical way, only fully understandable to experts. In most cases, it is unclear how these technical vulnerabilities will impact the business. By incorporating the findings of so-called penetration tests of computer devices and networks into an enterprise architecture model of the organization, it becomes possible to analyze and visualize the impact that the technical risks have on the business processes. Also, an enterprise architecture model can also help to focus penetration tests on the IT infrastructure that supports the most critical business processes, thus making the tests more efficient and effective.

We present a method for business impact analysis of technical risks, which combines the disciplines of technical risk analysis and enterprise architecture. Our method is supported by software tooling to (semi-)automatically import results of a penetration test into an enterprise architecture model, and to analyze and visualize the business impact of these technical risks. This both enhances the value of penetration testing and increases the return-on-investment of the enterprise architecture effort.

We illustrate our method by applying it to a realistic case study.

Key takeaways:

- We show how a combination of technical risk analysis and enterprise architecture can be used to analyze and visualize the business impact of vulnerabilities in IT systems and infrastructure.
- The incorporation of technical risk analysis in enterprise architecture helps to bring these disciplines to the boardroom.

Application Rationalisation at the UK Ministry of Justice

Responsible for upholding Civil Liberties, Law and Justice in UK, the Ministry of Justice is an enormous organisation, supported by more than thirty-seven agencies and public bodies. It is also directly responsible for the prison service. Over the last two decades, the application architecture of the prison service has grown organically; with individual prisons purchasing software as and when it was required. The business processes of the prison service have also developed on an ad hoc basis, with little formal documentation. As a result, the application and business architecture layers have become misaligned; the technical and security risk of aging applications is increasing as they go out of support; and in some cases, money is being spent on applications that are no longer used, required, or fit for purpose.

This presentation will describe the Application Rationalisation Program, conducted by BMT-Hi Q Sigma for the Ministry of Justice, in which TOGAF and Archimate were used to create an architecture repository to improve knowledge management, and architecture views to bridge the gaps between the business and application layers. We will also discuss the business analysis techniques that were used to evolve a set of recommendations that will significantly reduce the ongoing risks and costs of the UK Prisons applications portfolio.

Key takeaways:

-- TOGAF and Archimate can be successfully applied to Application Portfolio Management and Application Rationalisation.
-- Using TOGAF and Archimate can help you to align business and IT.
-- Setting up and using a governed repository greatly improves knowledge management and knowledge quality..
-- Application rationalisation reduces risk and running costs, leading to a more secure and efficient organisation.

What is Open Platform 3.0?

This session and the next are about what Open Platform 3.0 is and how it will deliver value. It is hosted by Stuart Boardman, Senior Business Consultant, KPN and Open Platform 3.0 Forum co-chair.

14:00: Welcome and Introductions: Stuart Boardman

14:05 - 14:30 What is Open Platform 3.0?— Dr. Chris Harding, Director for Interoperability, The Open Group, UK

The mission of the Open Platform 3.0 Forum is to advance The Open Group vision of Boundaryless Information Flow™ by helping enterprises to use Cloud, Social, and Mobile Computing, and Big Data. This will be accomplished by identifying a set of new platform capabilities, and architecting and standardizing a platform by which enterprises can reap their business benefits. These capabilities will enable enterprises to:

Process data “in the Cloud”

Integrate mobile devices with enterprise computing

Incorporate new sources of data, including social media and sensors in the “Internet of things”

Manage and share data that has high volume, velocity, variety, and distribution.

Turn the data into usable information through correlation, fusion, analysis, and visualization.

The presentation will describe the approach taken by the Forum to developing the platform, based on the Open Platform 3.0 Business Scenario that was published last year and analysis of the 22 business use cases that were published recently. This is leading to an exciting new architecture platform that will deliver the anticipated business benefits, and will enable users, developers, and architects to deploy new skills and work more effectively.

The Forum is producing a series of Snapshots prior to publishing the first Open Platform 3.0 standard. It welcomes input from Open Group members and from interested parties outside The Open Group, that will help it to build on the snapshots to define the standard.

This presentation will discuss why non-functional requirements are drivers for the architecture of Open Platform 3.0 systems and should not be engineered into systems as an afterthought. It will address how we can design into our systems the ability to actually deliver what gets written in SLA’s and the like.

Improving the Measurement and Communication of Information Security Risk

Improving the Measurement and Communication of Information Security Risk

Jim Hietala, VP Security, The Open Group, US

Risk analysis has grown to be a critical function in enterprises. As organizations are confronted with a confusing array of threats, gaining a more precise understanding of which risks are the most serious ones to address is important. This talk will explore common challenges in risk analysis, including measurement of risk, cognitive biases that inhibit effective analysis of risk and communication on risk with senior executives. It will also discuss popular risk management frameworks and how they deal with these topics.

The Open Group published our Risk Taxonomy Standard, based upon FAIR (Factor Analysis for Information Risk) several years ago to address the need for a standardized taxonomy in risk analysis. We have also now published a companion Risk Analysis Standard, and have launched a new risk analyst certification program. The talk will provide an overview of these standards, and how they address the issues of risk measurement and communication.

Reducing IT Costs and Increasing Application Value through Enterprise Architecture

Reducing IT Costs and Increasing Application Value through Enterprise Architecture

Lionel Laratte, Principal, Infosys, Ltd., US

Large enterprises can find themselves with portfolios of hundreds, if not thousands, of business applications. Business units and IT contribute to that growth every year as the acquire more applications to meet new requirements.

Mapping enterprise applications by capability and categorizing their data sets is not an easy exercise. However, companies that undertake and complete this will enjoy benefits such as a lean and rationalized portfolio of enterprise applications, reduced licensing costs and increased agility in responding to changes in the competitive and operating environments.

The introduction of a targeted method of mapping enterprise applications to capabilities can reduce the effort of completing the objective.

Key takeaways:

-- Mapping system capabilities across the enterprise is a tough but beneficial objective.

-- This method of mapping enterprise applications makes it easier to accomplish.

How can Architecture Support Successful IT Multi-sourcing?

How can Architecture Support Successful IT Multi-sourcing?

Grant Brown, Senior Manager, PricewaterhouseCoopers, UK

The current vogue in IT service delivery is to use multisource arrangements to reduce overall IT costs, with examples such as SIAM being seen as a way to cut the costs imposed by large system integrators whilst helping customers to get the "best of breed" for each service tower. Whilst this may reduce the cost of an organisations IT supply chain, it can create a barrier to greater integration of business and information architectures. At the same time it increases the burden on the retained IT function to join up the spaghetti.

This presentation looks at how taking an architectural approach to IT Sourcing can help to optimise what aspects of IT service provision should be split and what should remain in control of either a main outsource partner or the in-house IT function. The presentation looks at the problem across a number of architecture domains ­ Business, Information, Application and Security ­ as well as considering the organisational capability of a client organisation and proposes a framework for making sourcing decisions.Such a framework can be used by organisations to consider how they should source different aspects of their IT as well as help them prepare for the opportunities available through the Cloud and other service delivery paradigms.

Key takeaways:

-- A clear way to assess the benefits and issues of different IT sourcing approaches on a client organisations Enterprise Architecture.

-- Lessons learnt from organisations which have attempted to over diversify their supply chain at the detriment of their information and business architectures.

-- The importance of an organisations people and IT functions capability on how IT should be sourced and the burden on your architecture function of IT which has been overly multisourced.

Social Media and Social Companies

Social Media and Social Companies

The internet is shifting the way we organize work. It is shifting the requirement for what we call schedule push and the hierarchical organization that it implies and therefore it is removing the type of control that is conventionally used to match resources to tasks and customer demands to supplies and services. Organizational hierarchies have become too expensive to sustain and in many cases their style of coordination is simply no longer necessary. The cost complexity of industrial complex starts to outweigh the benefits and the internet makes it redundant.

The question I would like to adress is what this means for future software requirements. The question I would like to answer is what specific requirements current and future organizations and software packages must meet in order to be robust in the light of this development form topdown to bottom-up shaped business operations.

Current used software packages and hierarchical organizations based structures favour organizational fragmentation, fostering the use of ERP like solutions, and are in drastic contrast with building businesses by building communities driven by self-organization.

A requirement I put forward is recursion. From anthropology we have learned that each viable social system is viable only when it satisfies the requirement that it has a recursive structure and that all subsystems basically encompass the same functionalities as the whole. All essentially viable social systems are essentially recursive. So, let's assume that organizations and the supporting software should obey the same requirement.

In my contribution I will propose an analytical framework that helps us to analyze where to use old school fragmentation based software supporting operational and control excellence and where to use new school software fostering core and communicational excellence.

Recursion as an architectural principle will, I hope, turn lean&mean organizations and turning people in job descriptions and ' nuts and bolts' into lean&meaningful organizations where one understands his or her individual contribution to the whole.

Business Architecture Method: a 360 Degree of the Method and How it Relates to TOGAF ADM

The Nexus of Forces (Gartner), Platform 3.0 (TOG) and the New Style of IT (HP) challenges organizations to prepare for a new reality, and avoid becoming irrelevant due to not keeping pace with applying enabling technologies like cloud services, mobilization of applications, analytics and social media. To transform to the new reality organizations need to give direction to their enterprise and infrastructure transformation and prioritize the steps during transformation.

In this context business architecture becomes a cornerstone to capture the business vision and strategy. Business architecture is the discipline and provides the method to capture that business vision and strategy, to shape the business structure and assess the implications for business operations. The outcome gives guidance and enables a business driven transformation. Furthermore it provides a foundational re-usable business reference for all initiatives and sets direction for developing the application and technical infrastructure for the New Style of IT.

During the presentation the essentials of business architecture method will discussed and lessons learned from the practice over the past two decades in enterprise transformations.

Key takeaways:

-- Have an understanding of the value and method of business architecture
-- Have an understanding how to apply business architecture during enterprise transformations
-- Have an understanding how it relates to TOGAF ADM

Leveraging Enterprise Knowledge

All enterprises have significant knowledge assets but few really leverage them. Significant business value is lost as enterprises lack a coherent enterprise knowledge strategy, architecture and management framework to handle what many consider to be an abstract asset; one that cannot be physically seen or accounted for. Especially now when many employees are retiring, their knowledge is walking out of the door with them. This presentation provides a business and strategic ICT perspective on how to identify, mobilize, use and retain knowledge assets within an enterprise based upon experiences and lessons learned in both government and industry.

Key takeaways:

-- The need for a coherent strategy, architecture and management framework for enterprise knowledge, information and data.
-- The imperative for business leadership in creating a knowledge-based enterprise environment

TOGAF® 9 & BiSL: Where Data Architecture Meets Information Management

TOGAF® 9 & BiSL: Where Data Architecture Meets Information Management

This session will give you an overview of a framework for Information Management and how it is related to TOGAF 9. BiSL (Business Information Services Library) complements TOGAF 9 with guidance as to how execute the non-architectural lifecycle phases of Information Management. While architects are generally not directly involved in the execution of these phases, BiSL gives them insight into the activities that are informed and directed by the information architecture. Conversely, TOGAF 9 complements BiSL with detailed guidance for informati®on/data architecture. Most Information Management practitioners are generally not directly involved in the creation of architecture yet TOGAF 9 give them insight into this domain and how it is related to the other architectural domains across the whole enterprise.

Key takeaways:

-- Insight into the Information Management activities that are informed and directed by the information architecture.
-- An additional perspective that help you to perform better than 'framework fundamentalists' who insist that their perspective is the one and only truth.

He started his career in IT over 30 years ago after studying Engineering/Architecture. Working in a variety of functions, from operation to management, he has always operated on the borders between business and IT. He was involved in the introduction and development of IT standards like ITIL in the Netherlands. Tom van Sante has worked in numerous appointments for lots of different organizations where he advised on the use of IT in modern society. He was responsible for the introduction and development of TOGAF® within Getronics. Tom is co-writer of the TOGAF Pocket Guides and author of a number of other publications on IT standards and Architecture. Tom is the elected representative for supplier members on The Open Group's Governing Board.

A complete approach to enterprise architecture (EA) requires:
1) a method for implementing and governing the practice for constructing and using architectures.
2) a framework describing architectural viewpoints;
3) a language for architectural descriptions and communication;

The Open Group's TOGAF® 9 standard is the leading method for EA development, including a process, techniques and best practices. The Open Group's ArchiMate® standard is the leading graphical language for integrated EA modelling, describing the business, application and technology layers and their relationships. Moreover, ArchiMate provides strong features for modelling the motivation for the architecture (e.g., stakeholders, concerns, goals, principles and business requirements, etc.) and the implementation and migration planning (e.g. plateaus, gaps, workpackages, etc).

We show how TOGAF and ArchiMate provide and actionable EA capability:
-- TOGAF and ArchiMate together offer a comprehensive and complete approach to EA;
-- ArchiMate facilitates modeling the deliverables prescribed by TOGAF;
-- The ArchiMate core and its extensions cover all the aspects that TOGAF addresses.

We will demonstrate that TOGAF and ArchiMate are a perfect basis for a tool supported Enterprise Architecture practice. This will be done on the basis of a concrete example from the financial sector. The case concerns IT-legacy rationalization due to the merger of three previously independent insurance companies. The new company wanted to rationalize their IT applications portfolio, to simplify the application landscape, improve consistency and reduce maintenance costs. The demo shows elements of this case.

Key take-aways:

-- To the point overview of TOGAF, ArchiMate, and its fitness for purpose for a tool supported Enterprise Architecture practice.
-- Example description of a transformation case in finances, the applicability of TOGAF and ArchiMate for rationalizing an IT applications portfolio

Extending ArchiMate to Support Roadmapping

Extending ArchiMate to Support Roadmapping

Alan Burnett, COO & Consulting Head, Corso, UK

Roadmapping is a fundamental part of strategic planning and enterprise architecture. It allows us to map out the set of actions that are required to move the business from where it is today, to where it wants to be tomorrow. Those actions turn into plans.

Our roadmapping capabilities allow organizations to tie strategy to deliverables using enterprise architecture and to deliver on initiatives that have been prioritized. We have extended both the ArchiMate® and TOGAF® metamodels to include concepts that support roadmapping. We have also provided viewpoints over and above traditional enterprise architecture viewpoints.

Typical uses of this are application portfolio management, business strategy lifecycles, technology roadmaps, vendor management and IT portfolio management.

Key takeaways:

-- How to build enterprise architecture roadmaps for your business and IT domains using both TOGAF® and ArchiMate®
-- Transition planning
-- Milestones with visual status, heatmaps and gap analysis, lifecycles states.

A Common Language for IT Skills

Herman van Dellen, IT Specialist Profession Leader, IBM, Netherlands

We have many technical IT standards, however there is no common language for IT skills. A typical job board search on, e.g., "Java Developer" will result in a broad variety of job descriptions. A common language of skills would be beneficial for various target groups:

In addition to technical skills the standard should include personal skills, behavior, experience, business knowledge etc. Furthermore it should contain an independent validation process to prevent subjective or ambiguous ratings. A common language for skills should be able to specify skills at various levels of detail:

In this presentation we will
-- compare IT skills frameworks like Open CITS, the E-Competence Framework (e-CF), SFIA (Skills Framework for Information Architecture)
-- highlight which part of the total skills profile they cover, what are the gaps
-- present best practices showing the business advantages of a common language for IT skills
-- discuss opportunities for the Open Group to contribute to the creation of a standard for IT skills

Every Enterprise Architect knows the two difficult questions in a complex transformation initiative:

First, how to describe the architecture of an organization in a way that facilitates transformation.

Second, where to get started ­ what needs to be done, and how to make the outputs fit together.

The BIAN Services Landscape breaks down a bank into more than 250 service domains. This framework not only accelerates analysis. Much more, this standard, defined by the Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN), is actually co-developed and supported by vendors of banking IT-solutions, accelerating implementation and reducing cost of integration.

To address the second issue, TOGAF is a proven Enterprise Architecture methodology and framework used by leading global organizations to improve business efficiency. TOGAF is a prominent and reliable Enterprise Architecture standard, ensuring consistent application of standards, methods, and communication among Enterprise Architecture professionals.

This presentation will explore how to integrate both standards to make transformation work in the banking sector. It is based on the successful White Paper "Using the TOGAF® Standard with the BIAN Services Landscape" published by the speakers.

Key takeaway: How to accellerate and de-risk major transformation initiatives by using a proven process with an industry best practice service framework.

Enterprise Architecture, TOGAF and Resilience

Enterprise Architecture, TOGAF and Resilience

There are many opinions on Resilience, but an Enterprise should understand its Enterprise Architecture before trusting its Resilience promises. We need Enterprise Architecture to provide the overall picture of Resilience. Business needs from the enterprise availability, reliability, scalability, etc. These should be supported through Enterprise Architecture models and covered in the SLAs with the suppliers. Having the logical models defined through an Enterprise Architecture approach, supports the predictable delivery of Resilience rather than unpredictable Resilience. Enterprise Architecture is one of the tracks making Resilience predictable and it should support and collaborate with the other Resilience tracks.

The paper will look at how and where in TOGAF ADM we need to better support resilience, and the touching points with other enterprise wide processes in order to guarantee that the Resilience's requirements are met. Usually, resilience lacks of traceability against the overall objectives of the organization and that results in limited support and commitment from the executive board. In Preliminary Phase we develop or revisit the Resilience strategy. We also asses the current enterprise governance and support models to ensure they support and are integrated with enterprise wide Resilience governance. In TOGAF ADM Requirements Management phase we capture all requirements including Resilience Requirements. In Phases B, C, D we capture the critical business processes, critical systems, and critical infrastructure and create the logical models. Threats and vulnerabilities are countered in the Technical Reference Model. Phase H Architecture Change Management needs to embed resilience when for example changing critical business processes, critical systems or critical infrastructure. Across all phases we look of the integration points with other enterprise wide processes supporting Resilience.

Key takeaways:

-- Enterprise Architecture as support for enterprise Resilience

-- How and where do we need to support Resilience in TOGAF ADM

-- What are the touching or integration points of TOGAF ADM with other enterprise wide processes in order

EA Capability Improvement... igniting a community of EA Capabilities

Within the Open Group Architecture Forum, we have prevously published the World-Class EA Whitepaper. Building on that as a base, we have been looking to establish a nucleus of a few end-user organisations around which to build out a community that helps Enterprise Architects (and especially those who are charged with leading these efforts) understand what they can do to make the required interventions that will deliver real business value.

This presentation/ workshop is looking to present and recruit ideas and potentially organisations to be the ambassadors of this community - helping both shape the work of the project and benefit from the involvement directly. This is a partial case study based presentation & part test of what the demands are for our projects' outcomes

Key takeaways:

-- Views on what issues and interventions others are looking at in End User organisations.
-- A way of getting potentially involved with the Capability Improvement project.

ArchiMate Reference Architecture for Governance, Based on BiSL

Together with BIZZdesign we are in the process of developing an ArchiMate reference architecture for governance, based on BiSL. In this presentation we will share the results of that effort, zooming in on how the several aspects of IT governance can be visualized using ArchiMate. Furthermore we could highlight some lacking elements in ArchiMate to express particular governance issues. This might lead to an initiative to develop a future governance extension in ArchiMate.

Key takeaways:

-- IT governance basics visualized in an ArchiMate reference architecture.
-- The usefulness of a governance framework (incl reference architecture) emphasized.
-- Can a governance extension help ArchiMate support all phases of the ADM cycle?

Taking Service Forward - The Adaptive Service Model

Future best practice for governing, managing, providing and consuming services will be dynamic, emerging, empirical and holistic. Bodies of knowledge will continually emerge based on input from real people consuming, brokering or providing real services.

The first half of the session introduces the initiative and the model. Why it was founded, what it covers, differences/similarities to some of the traditional EA reference models, the use of ArchiMate and how the crowd-sourcing of the further development of the model is approached?

The second half of the session is interactive. We will discuss some of the key questions that face the initiative to take the model further.

Key takeaways:

1. Understand the changes going on in the service management domain
2. Insight into the Adaptive Service Model
3. Influence on the further development of the Adaptive Service Model

Strategy-EA alignment has been a topic that has recently received a lot of attention due to organizations becoming more aware of the benefits this alignment can bring in the current dynamic environment. Even though there is no widely accepted solution for this alignment problem, there is some consensus about what areas require improvement, such as communication and a common language between enterprise architects and management executives, formalisation and documentation of strategy development, and involvement of relevant stakeholders in the strategic planning process. When thinking about strategy development, it is common to associate this process with strategy models such as Business Model Canvas, Balanced Scorecard, SWOT analysis, etc. These are all tools that the managers of organisations use to formalise their strategic planning process and sometimes to communicate their strategy within their organisation or even outside it. Thus enterprise architects need to be familiar with the concepts of these techniques in order to be able to implement their results in the architecture of an organisation.

We present how these high level strategic models can be used and modelled based on the Strategizer method. This method is a toolbox of strategy models with guidelines on how they should be used in an organisation and also how their results can be implemented in an organisation. The presentation will focus on showing how these strategy models can be modelled with ArchiMate and will exemplify this with the help of a case study.

Key takeaways:

(1) Strategy-EA alignment can be improved by Enterprise Architects having access to better structured strategic information.
(2) Implementation of organisational strategies and objectives can be improved by Enterprise Architects understanding the core strategic concepts and knowing how to model them with ArchiMate concepts.

Understanding Reference Models and Reference Architectures

Understanding Reference Models and Reference Architectures

Chris Armstrong, President, Armstrong Process Group, Inc., US

The notion of reference models and reference architectures are used pervasively in the architecture profession. However, in practice, there is often confusion when applying these concepts as to how they are different, yet related. The speaker will present industry standard best practices regarding how to use reference models for categorizing architecture content for different purposes (such as planning, lifecycle management, gap analysis and enterprise-wide alignment) and how they relate to architecture/solution building blocks (per TOGAF). The presentation continues with discussing how reference architectures are similarly used, but also how they can be used to represent architecture/design patterns and best practices.
